More than half of the world’s population is sleep deprived. Yet, sleep is fundamental to productivity, safety, and overall well-being. Improving sleep quality and treating sleep disorders are not only essential parts of personal care but also critical public health issues.

Founded in 2019 by Thomas Xin, the Macau Association of Sleep Health (MASH) is dedicated to raising public awareness of sleep health, promoting a culture of healthy sleep, providing sleep-quality monitoring and counseling, and advancing sleep health research in Macau. MASH is currently focusing on occupational groups at high risk of sleep disorders, including shift workers and students. Meanwhile, it plans to collaborate with government, health, and education sectors to promote further sleep research.

In the coming years, MASH aims to develop a network of clinicians, educators, and corporate leaders. By learning from and partnering with well-established sleep health programs in other countries, MASH strives to enhance sleep health and significantly improve the well-being of students, professionals, and patients throughout the Greater Bay Area of China.

全球超过一半的人口面临睡眠不足的问题。然而，睡眠对个人的生产力、安全性和整体健康至关重要。改善睡眠质量和治疗睡眠障碍不仅是个人护理的重要组成部分，也是重大的公共健康问题。

澳门睡眠健康协会（MASH）由Thomas Xin于2019年创立，致力于提升公众对睡眠健康的认知，倡导健康睡眠文化，提供睡眠质量监测与咨询服务，并推动澳门睡眠健康研究的发展。目前，MASH 的工作重点是关注高风险职业群体的睡眠障碍问题，包括轮班工作者和学生。同时，MASH 计划与政府、卫生和教育部门合作，促进睡眠研究的发展。

在未来几年，MASH 将努力构建由临床医生、教育工作者和企业领导组成的网络。通过学习和借鉴其他国家成熟的睡眠健康项目并开展合作，MASH 将致力于改善睡眠健康，切实提高大湾区学生、职业人士和患者的福祉。
